Local History & Genealogy

Printer-friendly versionSend to friendPDF version

    The library's local history and genealogy collection is housed in the McLaughlin Room, located just off the children's department. Most of the collection must be used in-house, with selected books available for check out. The room provides table space for materials, a microfilm scanner with printing and email capabilities, and a computer with Internet access to Ancestry.com as well as other genealogy sites.

Check back often as we will be adding more .pdf files of family genealogies as copyright laws allow.
